Working Weird Craigslist Jobs to Earn $965 for New York City Rent

VICE's Will Tilghman tries to make his monthly rent of $965 by working weird jobs posted on the gigs section of New York Craigslist. After staging a photoshoot for a restaurant, screening a bad horror movie, trying a new deodorant, writing a bio for a nice mom, handing out newspapers, doing a timely impersonation of Lord Varys from “Game of Thrones”, and more, Will goes deep into the world of Craigslist to see if he can actually pay his rent by doing odd-jobs.

Whenever people respond to people who are in poverty with things like "do some side hustle" I am going to link this video. Expecting people who are probably already working more than one job to have time for a side hustle, especially for people who have kids to spend tons of time chasing down odd jobs is just insane.

You know what's bad, I found a job and they send a check in advanced for $3,550,00. ..... i copied and paste the words of this video to my craigslist and OMG there were alot of gigs and jobs the pay ... is off the roof

I lived off of Criagslist for years but it’s nearly impossible today. 8-12 years ago it was much easier to do lots of postings and opportunities but most of those have spread out to more nitch websites, Facebook, etc the same jobs and opportunities are out there just spread out over many sites rather than concentrated on Craigslist.
